	I picked up a copy of Byte today, and aside from a mediocre
review of NeXT (no fair, they placed a mono classic slab against machines
priced in the $10-$36,000 range and complained), there was a blurb about
some new RISC chip: the IMS3250 which is supposed to run at 100 Mhz, 90 Mips,
and be able to emulate both a 486@25Mhz and a 68040@30Mhz.  Here's the
kicker: it's supposed to cost between $50 and $60 in production quantities.
Wonder what effect this'll have on the industry?  Heheh...imagine: NeXTSTEP
and NeXTSTEP486 on the same box.  :)
